My mom and dad are thinking about moving out-of-state while iam still in school and in the guard, i was wandering if I were to move with them would i be able to switch units and have my tuition paid for?...thanks

If you IST to the guard of another state, you come under their state benefits programs. So if you're living in, say, Illinois (which offers tuition free education at state colleges/universities) but move to California (which doesn't offer any sort of education benefits), you'd lose your state offered education benefits.

As far as federal tuition assistance (FTA), you'll be eligible for that regardless of where you live.
